Deliver Us Mars doesn’t make Kathy’s journey to and through the Red Planet easy. As you get further into Chapter 3, you’ll encounter its second beam puzzle, which ups the challenge quite a bit when compared to its predecessor.
Deliver Us Mars’ Chapter 3 second beam puzzle not only gives you multiple beams to handle, it also makes you work a bit more before you can access them. Then, you also need to point them at semi-circular targets in a set order. If you’ve reached this point and are starting to feel a little frustrated, we have the solution below.
Deliver Us Mars Chapter 3 Second Beam Puzzle
Look at the pillar-like structure to which the targets are attached and you’ll notice that each one has a plaque with a different number of dots above it.
You’ll need to follow the ascending order of dots when aiming the beams at the targets in order to progress.
Navigating around the room, you’ll notice several closed doors marked by letters, alongside a set of beams that you can interact with. Aim one beam at the target underneath the plaque with just one dot.
Look behind you to spot a door that you can open by taking control of your drone pal and interacting with the device on the wall.
Head inside and cut open the airlock door, which opens the way into a room with lots of floating yellow canisters surrounded by what seems to be electricity.
To remove the potentially hazardous areas, use your laser to cut the canisters from afar. Doing so makes them explode, clearing a path towards the airlock door at the other end of the room.
Once you reach it, cut it, then head inside, and make a right. Use your drone to open a new room that allows you to project two other beams at a different set of targets, getting you closer to Deliver Us Mars’ Chapter 3 second beam puzzle solution.
Aim one beam at the device marked with two dots, then another at the device marked with three dots.
Don’t leave the room just yet. On the opposite wall from the device used to open this door, you can see a shaft that your drone can enter and navigate.
Take control of it and head in. As soon as you exit, you should spot another device that opens up a new door behind which two more beams wait. Switch to Kathy and aim these beams at the targets marked with four and five dots.
In the same room, turn to the left, make a right, and press the blue button on the right wall. This allows you to enter the other room and cut the airlock door marked with the letter D open.
Point the two new beams at the targets marked by six and seven dots, sticking with the ascending order required for the solution to the second beam puzzle in Deliver Us Mars’ Chapter 3.
Return to the first room (marked with an A) and direct the unused beam at the last remaining device, that’s marked with eight dots.
Having done so, you can now head back to the bridge and interact with the terminal that has a red screen to progress further through the level.
Should fail to keep the correct order while completing the second beam puzzle in Deliver Us Mars’ Chapter 3, the targets turn red and your crew will let you know on comms that you’ve done something wrong.
